ATTACHM ENT FOR STOVES.

SPECIFICATON forming part of Letters Patent No. 693,751, dated February18, 1902.

Application tiled April 20,1901. Serial No. 56,688. (No model.)

To all whom it nto/,y concern:

Beit known that we, JOHN H. SOEHREN and CHARLES J. RoHLr, citizens ofthe United States, and residents of Everly, in the county of Clay andState of Iowa, have invented a new and Improved Attachment for Stoves,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in attachments forcooking-stoves, ranges, or heaters; and the object is to provide asimple device designed to be placed above a stove or the like to catchany steam, heat, or smoke that may rise from the stove and direct thesaine into the smoke-pipe or into a pipe leading' into an upper room forthe purpose of heating said upper room.

IVe will describe an attachment for stoves embodying our invention andthen point out the novel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional view of a device embodying our invention,showing the same in position over a stove. Fig. 2 is a section on thelinea: .fr of Fig. l, and Fig. 3 is a section on the line y y of Fig. 2.

The invention comprises a hood l, supported on the smoke-pipe 2 abovethe stove 3. As here shown, the smoke-pipe 2 extends through an openingat one side of the hood, and a loop e is attached at its upper end tothe hood and engages at its lower end with the front side of thesmoke-pipe, and attached to this loop is another loop 5, which engagesaround the smoke-pipe. At the front or" the hood is a swinging door 6,and extended upward :trom the hood is a pipe 7, which leads through thefloor of a room above the stove. This pipe is designed to convey heat tothe upper room. The pipe 7 has a connection 8 with the pipe 2, and inthis connection 8 is a damper 9, While a damper l0 is placed in the pipe7 above said connection S, and movable in the hood at the inlet endofthe pipe 7 is a slide-valve 1l, from which an operating-rod 12 extendsoutward through one side of the hood. Extended across within the hoodare rods 13, upon which dish-cloths or other articles may be hung fordrying, and also arranged within the hood are open-work platforms let,upon which fruits, dishes, or other articles may be placed for drying orheating.

In operation when the heat arising from the stove is utilized forheating a room in which the stove is placed the door G is to be moved toits open position, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. l, and the valve1l closed. Vhen it is desired to direct the heat, steam, dac., into thesmoke-pipe 2 and thence into the chimney, the valve l0 is to be closedand the valves 9 and 1l opened. Then it is desired to direct the heatupward through the pipe 7, the valve 9 is to be closed and the valves 10and 11 opened.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patentl. An attachment for stoves, comprising a hood,having an opening at one side through which the smoke-pipe of a stovemay pass, a loop connected to the hood, a loop engaging with t-hesmoke-pipe and with Which the firstnamed loop connects, a pipeconnection between the hood and the smoke-pipe, a valve in the upperportion of the hood, and a door at the front of the hood, substantiallyas specified. Y

2. An attachment for stoves, comprising a hood, having an opening at oneside through which the smoke-pipe of a stove may pass, a loop attachedat its upper end to the hood and engaging at its lower end with thefront side of the smoke-pipe, a loop attached to the iirst-mentionedloop and engaging around the stovepipe, a pipe extending upward from thehood, a pipe connection between the latter pipe and the smoke-pipe, avalve in said pipe connection, a valve in the upwardly-extending pipeabove said connection, and a valve below said connection, substantiallyas speci-A fied.

3. An attachment for stoves, comprising a hood having a door at itsfront, a loop connected to the rear portion of the hood, and engagingthe smoke-pipe of a stove, a second loop attached to the first-mentionedloop and engaging the smoke-pipe, and a pipe leading from saidhood,substantially as speciiied.

In testimony whereof We have signed our names to this specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.
